If you love Boston comedy, this is a really great episode. My old friend John Tobin owns Laugh Boston and a bunch of other chuckle shacks around the country and has been part of the Boston scene for 30 years. Great dude.

0:00.0 | Hi, welcome to Fitzdog Radio. I'm Greg Fitzsimons. I'll be your host for this episode. I sure |
0:17.9 | hope you enjoy it. How do you start a podcast? I'm sitting alone in a room for an hour, putting this |
0:25.3 | shit together. And then you just start talking to nobody. And yet so many people are listening. |
0:32.6 | It's staggering. Not that many, but a good amount. I mean, I'm on the map. 13 years in, |
0:40.1 | 1000 and something episodes in. We just keep chugging along. I'm heading off. Actually, about time |
0:46.6 | you hear this, I will be in Ireland, the old sod, where my grandparents are all from. And we have |
0:55.1 | no relatives left. Everybody got the fuck out because of the goddamn British. |
1:01.3 | Thanks, British. Thanks for making us feel at home and our own home. You bastards. |
1:08.2 | So we'll be over there. It's going to be my wife and kids, my sister and her husband and |
1:12.8 | their two kids, my mom, my brother. We got a big house in Galway, which is on the West Coast. |

1:35.3 | horse race in Ireland is the weekend we get there. And then there's like some crazy Falcon castle |
1:43.7 | where you can watch Falcons fly. I guess. I mean, look, I'm just going for the pub life, |
1:52.7 | the sessions, the music, the people. I have great memories of Ireland. The last time we were there, |
2:00.4 | and I've been Ireland probably four times. The last time we were there, I can tell you right now |
2:06.0 | was 22 years ago, because my wife was pregnant with my son Owen, who at the time didn't have |
2:14.5 | a name. And we said, let's go to Ireland and find a name for Owen. So for whoever this baby is, |
2:21.3 | we knew it was a boy. And so we were kind of like taking it in. And one of the names we heard was |
2:28.2 | Owen. And in Gaelic, it's spelled crazy. It's like O-I-G-H-A-N or something. But we heard the name, |
2:37.3 | fell in love with it. And he was, he's been in Ireland before in utero. And my niece, Julia, |
